  1. Thanks for the reply, and when i had the gearbox rebuilt - gearbox guy said "i will get stronger gears then the standard ones" i assume.. that means stronger? :D (lol) cheers.
  2. Hi all, have a 4afe at the moment in my ae92 hatch with a a strengthened gear box. I want to know will a 4afe gearbox fix a 4age 16v / 20v. if not.. will a 4age 16v / 20v head fit on my 4afe? Cheers guys.
  3. Hey Guys, i am about to start a SR20 swap in my KE55 sedan, and have a few questions. 1 - Fuel rails? do they need changing... 2 - tail shaft.. does it need changing 3 - will the borg warner diff hold upto a SR20DET? 4 - engine angles.. what angle should it sit at? 5 - any advice / information or ANYTHING you have about putting an SR20 into a KE would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks heaps!!!
  4. Thanks for your input, it is greatly appreciated. I even tried local suspension mob.. but = fail... i have tried Fulcrum as well, they said i have to fully customise a set. I tried Japanese Imports Pty Ltd but could not get an answer on their telephone for 2 days in a row.. I am wondering if the number has changed, apparently according to local suspension mob, they can order stuff from over seas...?
  5. Please help :) what kinda car will fit this etc etc :y: :wink: :P please :(
  6. Hey all.. just wondering.. best way to do suspension on a Gp turbo... 1987 corolla 2.. any ideas??
  7. I'm sure liking everything I'm seeing.. just a matter of MAKING MINDS UP! lol.. the red 55 sure is hot as hell! how bout a Corolla 2 GP Turbo to add to the situation?! think some of the rare ones need their place too!
  8. Dec could be GP Turbo's! :)
  9. Thanks for the info... turns out after putting a boost gauge on it - the boost has been wound up to 15PSI! (idiot old man!) so it would seem to me that the map sensor is cutting out and bringing the boost back to a safe lvl.. i think if i wanted to keep that kinda boost i would needa 2 bar map sensor.. how ever i think i will remove the dodgy boost tee he has in there and run standard boost back in it.. should be A ok then! anyone agree?? lol
  10. Hey all, have the KE55 off the road at the moment.. getting stripped and converted... my daily is now a GP Turbo, Corolla 2! perfect little car, 1.5 turbo sohc. BUT lol i know nothing about the car itself, stock boost? at the moment. when i accelerate it takes off, and boosts up but appears to stall for a split second. and then it takes off again, how ever seems to have much lower boost. say from 7psi to 3psi... turn the car off. start again and away it goes.. i have seen on some other images that there appears to be a BOOST switch on the dash.. could this be causing the issue? it appears to be a high / low boost switch standard! or could it be something else ??? vaccum sensors or what? Cheers all!
  11. Hey Guys, I'm back - i have finnaly ordered some Coil Overs for the front, i have taken the dive and spent just over $1400 for them to be custom made (don't ask for set up yet lol, they did it i have no idea! i just said.. low stiff and adjustable) what i want to know is... will i fit 17x7 under the rear of my ke55? and front? i am aware that i may need to roll the guards and flare them too possibly, but i want to know for sure what to do! cheers http://www.xxrwheels.com/sportmax_507_W.shtml p.s them be the wheels i want!
  12. Yeah, EB Falcon Rear "LOW" Springs then cut to the height you want.. makes them 7KG VERY STIFF!
  13. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=30308 check it out
  14. Nawww thats no fair! lol... well in that case, scrap that - guess its going to be the SR20 might i ask, why it is not legal?
  15. Hi Guys... so many things to think about, i was pondering a 4Age 20v conversion, but everyone has done it!.... so i thought, SR20.... but there have quiet a few who have done this as well... so i have moved my thoughts to 13b rotary! - perhaps a 13b Bridge Port Turbo... (drool :D ) this, i realise will be a police magnet ... :hmm: but this really isnt a concern to me lol... thinking about getting the plate PIGB8 .. (its taken unfortunatly.. but the idea is AWESOME!) does any one know of someone who has done this conversion? is it hard? and who wants in?! lol... thanks guys i await your imput!! :D :dance:
  16. Thanks of the post! your wealth of knowledge from all astounds me. I have been talking to a Gent here on the forums, who is going to be be nice enough to send me a set of R31 skyline front coil overs, control and steering arms etc... I think i have a winner!!!
  17. Hi Guys! (and Gals) just wondering.. i have a KE55.. and am putting a SR20 in the lil fella... who has some good ideas for number plates? i want to incorperate the KE55 SR20 if i can... some form of smart way of putting the two together so people will pick up its a ke with a sr20 well ke with an sr! :) thanks guys!
  18. well in the back, i have had the springs set 3" lower and had an extra leaf put in.. just waiting for them to return! (thank got for spares!) and well, for the front i was going to go coil overs.. i do really want it tight as i live up the hills and go up and down up and down and the corners.. are extreamly tight! so.. maybe 300 - 350lbs? if that is sounding more plausable? ... so many questions.. i just need someone to give me a straight answer :) someone tell me.. what shocks to buy, what springs.. what else i need .. brands lol.. (not asking much i know :)) thanks guys!
  19. Ok guys! The rear is sweet as! loving it such a straight, tight ride. however! the front, i need to know - i would like 450lbs superlows... any idea where i would get these made?? thanks in advance again :)
  20. figured everyone else had posted.. i wanted to as well so i don't feel lonley! i got it too!
  21. nice thanks for the update, hey what did you have to do to get the sr in it? fire wall mods tunel mods etc? thanks champ!
  22. Thanks for the Novel, i honestly appreciate people who take the time to help me understand the pros AND cons of doing things. ok, so now my head has stopped hurting - i was hoping to lower about 3" in the front and the rear, do you know if this would be making the control arms flat? and what is the implications of doing so? also - does anyone know of a Strut Brace for the front of a KE55? i think i will be going with a new strut in the front, with custom spring rate springs. 400lbs i think would be nice. for the rear i will be getting the springs reset lower and will be putting an extra leaf in to stiffen it up a little. and with my brand new fitted today KYB damper in the rear it is quiet nice. i will keep all posted if people could keep giving me your awesome imput! thanks heaps its going to be a little ripper :yes: goes in for paint in 4 weeks, had all the panel work done on it last week by ROLLAANDY (bit of advertising there for ya andy :lol:) looking for wheels... hoping to get custom made, 4 x 114.3 7" +12 offset watanabe's BUT so BLEEDING EXSPENSIVE! :D thanks muchly!
  23. This Guy Rocks!

  24. hmmmm, i am hearing a lot about cutting springs, and it doesnt seem to bad - i did do it in my old AE92 Seca, but they were stock springs and it hit bump stop very easy. so would it be safe to assume that the Falcon springs have a heavy rate stopping this?
